stafford,s Bank TroubIes.

The savings bank directors on Monday unanimously elected W. M. Corbin presi- dent of the bank, o. F. Harwood treasurer and James Risley secretary. It is prob- able that before opening the bank fully for business the deposits will be scaled down 15 per cent This will prevent those who would promptly draw their de- posits from getting their money in full and leaving any possible losses to fall upon those continuing with the bank, the per centage of course increasing as tue amount of deposits decreased. Whatever the bank can pay above the amount so scaled down will come back in the form of dividends. E. c. Pinney has been chosen director in place of G. H. Baker, deceased.
 The report that MT. Hicks had gone to Canada did not produce auy sensation in Stafford, as has been published, for the reason that no one believed it. He came to Stafford Springs last Saturday and will remain here and face the coliseQuences of his acts.
 Charles M. Joslyn of Hartford has been appointed receiver of the national bank. He is well known to Stafford people, being a native of Holland, and former law part ner of E. H. Hyde, Jr. His selection for the place should have the fullest approval of all interested.
 The Savings Bank of Stafford Springs has opened department for deposits sub- ject to draft or check, ,and is supplying cus- toners with needed blank checks and other stationery, thus to a degree relieving the temporary inconveniences to business men. This will continue until new bank is or ganized, which is an event to be looked for.
 Col JosIyn arrived on Wednesday and has entered upon his duties. His appoint ment gives good satisfaction. He is will ling already to express confidence that no loss will come to creditors or depositors in the bank, and is of the opinion that there will be something left for stockholders, though so far as this goes he has had no time yet to investigate.
 MT. Forman, the examiner retired from the conduct of affairs on MT. Joslyn's ar rival and has left town. MT. Joslyn will in few days be able to give an idea of the condition of the bank and of the actual amount of shortage and probable amount of poor paper.
 The papers allude to MT. Hicks home and habits of living as if the former was palatial and the latter the most luxurious imaginable. The fact is that MT. Hick's house, though pleasant and tastefully plan ned and built, is far from an excessively costly one. We have many private dwell ings larger and much more costly to build Its furnishings are tasteful but not extrava- gant for a man in Mr. H's position. And further he has never been regarded as a man of extravagant or costly habits. All this is contrary to the impression that has gone out, but is we'll known here in Staf- ford.

The death is announced of Mrs. Craik (Dinah Maria Mulock)the authoress. She was born in 1926. Her first novel, s'The Ogilvies," was published in 1849, when Miss Mulock was only 23 years of age. The work was great'success. Her succeeding novels, 'tOlive," was much more widely recognized.

It wns not, however, until 1856 that she published the novel that made her famous -"John Halifax, Gentleman"

The Missouri grand lodge of Masons have taken action on the question of the eligibility of saloon keepers and liquor dealers to become members of the order. Several months ago the state grand master issued an order, calling upon the lodges under his jurisdiction to expel all members who were in any way connected with the liquor traffic The Napthali lodge of St. Louis, of which dozen prominent liquor men were members, many of them being charter members, refused to obey the or der, and the charter of the lodge was an- nulled. The grand lodge sustained the order of the grand master. This order was based on law passed by the lodge, a number of years ago, whhich set forth that thereafter no saloon keepers should be- come members of the order.

Philadelphia Press Gen. Hawley's en- gagement is to be very short one. Miss Hornor's marriage to him will take place before congress opens in December, which brings the coming eveut close at hand. Gen. Hawley has grown visibly younger, I hear, which is not passing strange. He has had full enough of life to age man, and held offices which raise a just doubt IS to his aptest personal title. But he has his own fit and admiral ble answer to in- quiries on this point. "You have been so many things, said some one to him the other day, 'I hardly know what to call you" "In Connecticut, where they think it is the highest honor man can reach to be governor of the state," said Gen. Haw- ley, everybody still calls me Gov. Flaw ley;' in Washington am Senator ; m1li- tary men who knew me during the war call me Gen. Hawley, but the soldiers, :" and Gen. Hawley's face lit up with pleas ure, "always call me Joe Hawley, and I think like that best of alE."

The immense 6ve-story stone cotton mills at Baltic, Ct., which were built by the Spragues and leased by H. L. Aldrich & Go. of Providence, were burned to the ground Friday morning. The cause Of the fire is mystery and though without evidence of it incendiarism seems the only possible explanation. The assessed valua- tion of the property was $500, 900 out of total of $1, ,158, ,OOO for the whole town, and the cost of the plant first and last must have exceeded $2,OO0, 900; 82O hands are thrown out of work.

WASHINGTON dispatches say that the Knights of Labor have demanded that the government securities of all kinds be printed on hand roller instead of steam presses in the bureau of engraving and printing. This change was recently made by Chief Graves with the most satisfactory results, both as to economy and good artistic work. But the steam presses decrease the demand for labor; hence the op- position. Still we cannot believe that there is any official power or sanction of the order behind the demand. A move in this nine teenth century towards return to the life and methods of the ''stone age" (for this ex- pression ftly characterizes the spirit of such demand) would indicate the highest degree of obtuseness on the part of the mover

4 CHEAT OUTRAGE bas been perpetrated D

A GREAT OUTRAGE has been perpetrated by J. Ernest Smith of Texas, express messenger, who, when train robbers had captured the en- zine of his train, shot dead the gentleman who came to ransack his car, and not satisfied with this emptied the contents of the second barrel of his shot gun into one of the startled band as they were all fleeing from his mur- derous reception. Such actions tend to dis courage the gentlemanly road agents, who have been accustomed to having passengers and train hands surrender like little men.

Protection OF Fish.


Seth Green, in the Amerjcoa Agrical-
tpriSt, makes this forcible appeal for
the protection of fish:
The matter of protecting our fish is
subject which should interest every
good citizen, whether he be a fisher
man or not; it is question which con-
Germs the food supply OF the country,
which is of vital Importance to every
man, woman and child.
The class of fishermen who do the
most damage are those who take the
fish during their spawning seasons. 1t
IS at this time that the fish como into
the shallow water to complete their
task of procreation and are then easily
captured. All fish have certain locali-
ties, TO which they resort at the season
of the year when their eggs are ma
tured and ready to east Different
varieties seek different localities. These
localities are well known to poachers,
and where the fish congregate in these
places in large schools, they draw their
net around them, and frequently cap
turo the whole lot at a single haul.
Another method through which our
inland waters are deprived of hundreds
of thousands of young fish annually, is
through the means of the murderous
spear and jack light. The depredators
approach the spawning beds of the
salmon trout, bass or other fish at
night; the strong light of the jack, as
it is called, thrown upon the water, en-
ables the spearman to see down in
the clear water for several feet; the
darkness of the night serves in the
same way rs cloak thrown over the
head in the day time in looking below
the ice, through which means, rs many
of your readers know, objects can be
seen for considerable distance down.
The fish have apparently little fear of
the light, and the boat is easily pad
died up to within few feet of the fish,
when the deadly spear is sent into
them. Not only are many captured in
this way, but many are injured which
are not brought TO the boat, so that
they die by being pierced by the tines
of the spear, and death is the result in
n few hours or days, according to the
injury. There are also several other
ways by which fish are destroyed while
on their spawning beds, rs by shoot
ing, sharing, etc, but | think l have
explained the matter sufficiently, and
trust it will make an impression on the
minds of my readers, so that they will
exert their influence to protect the fish
from ILLEGAL modes IF cantura af oil
times, and their wholesale destruction,
particularly so when they are on their
spawning beds.
